| Well, all my grades are finally in. I actually did the best I've done since I've been at Michigan. I got an A+, A, A, A-, but unfortunatley the A- is not an A and the A+ doesn't count for anything extra, so I ended up with a 3.925, which pulls my cumulative over a 3.7! Yay! I was so excited and really happy, because between the headache of Women's Studies and the sheer boring-ness and skipping of class that everything else elicited, this was my hardest semester. So, I was really happy. Maybe some grad schools will want me now. Ha. That's something else I have to think about. I know what I want to do, but I don't know where I want to do it. Also, I found out I'll actually be an independent (not on my parent's taxes) as of next year (not 2007, but 2008). Mostly because it will benefit me because my mom took a full time job, so my family is making the most it ever has. That's so weird. I'm actually becoming a real adult. It's super scary. Oh well. Thinking about what I want to do after Michigan makes my head hurt. I know I can't avoid it, and I can't do nothing, because then nothing will happen. That sounds obvious, but you know what I mean. Especially since Andrew is a year behind me. Do I want to go straight to grad school and be apart for another year? It sucked the first time. I could work I suppose, but where? Ahhh! Fuck it. I'm on vacation for another like... week. I don't want to think about it. Except my mind always seems to start thinking about it, no matter what I am doing. Oh well. Maybe the answer will come to me in a dream. Or maybe I'll just win the lottery. That would be nice. In other news, Christmas was really fun. But, it didn't feel too much like Christmas. I must be outgrowing the holiday or something. The fact that it didn't slow probably had something to do with it though too. It just didn't fell very Christmas-y. But, it was very fun. On the Eve, we had a bunch of family over, plus all the boyfriends/girlfriends (In case you didn't know, both Dan and John have girlfriends) and we all opened presents from them. Andrew got me a 30 gig Video I-Pod, which was totally awesome. It was way more than I was expecting. Then my mom, dad, John, Kayla (the gf) went to John's church for a midnight service, which was kinda weird. I dunno, those that know me know that church kinda makes me feel kinda... off. But, it was still nice. Christmas morning was fun; it was just the family + my grandma. We opened presents. I got a digital camera, speakers for my computer (with a subwoofer ) and some perfume (Happy!). Then, we went to my other grandma's for brunch and hung out there all day. I watched "Cars" which was super cute. I liked Mater. He was pretty sweet. Then, I spent the rest of the day with Andrew and his family, and their new HDTV. Ha. Since then, I've just been spending giftcards, ha. And hanging out with the family of course. But everyone is so busy. Most of the time I'm just home waiting for people to get back, haha. But it's nice to not have to do anything. At least for a few more days. So, how was everyone else's Christmas? I haven't had a chance to talk to anyone really yet, except Katy. I was gonna get together with some people tonight, but I ended up doing stuff with my parents. Oh well. Tomorrow is a dentist appointment, which I am not looking forward to - because, honestly, who does? Other than that, I am free. Ha, I think that is all the news. OH! My cousin just got engaged and asked me to be in her wedding! So, I am going to be a bridesmaid. It should be cool. But yeah. Now, I think that's it. Kudos if you read all that!
